Excellent, honest, amazing

I can’t believe everything that Julia Fox has been through. She bravely shares it all with the listener, making all of us “weirdos” feel part of the family. It is very well-written and performed.

A sweet story about friendship

Revisado: 06-15-23

I was surprised how invested I got into the boy and Willie the ghost’s friendship. The subplot was also interesting and I definitely wanted to know how it ended

Captivating

Revisado: 12-14-22

I found this book and performance to be creative and captivating. The kingdom’s obsession with physical beauty is a mirror to our own society’s growing preoccupation.

Very engaging

Revisado: 11-25-22

This book hooked me right away and held my attention the whole way through. In my experience, this was one of the only books that centers sex work as a choice and not something to pity. I would read another book just on the stories of the other workers at the Hop.

Excellent memoir

Revisado: 08-31-22

Jeanette McCurdy created an unflinching and insightful memoir about her abusive mother, eating disorders, and unwanted childhood stardom. She was able to analyze her mother’s actions and motivations like few can. Though McCurdy has left acting, her acting shines through with the reading of her book. Highly recommended.

Kept me listening!

Revisado: 06-05-22

I thought this book would be a frothy teen story that I could fall asleep to. But I quickly got ensnared in the story and characters. It was far more than a light teen story. I hope there is more in the series.

There’s no better narrator than Billy Porter

Revisado: 05-10-22

Go ahead and give Billy Porter another Grammy for his performance reading his memoir. His story is poignant, deeply real, and read like no one else could.

Boring

Revisado: 04-30-22

I really gave this book a chance but it continued to be boring. I enjoyed the parts set in present day with the expanding band of fleeing criminals. But all of Alan’s flashbacks were so tedious. I can’t understand how there is a sequel to this already bloated book.

I expected more

Revisado: 04-14-22

Leah McSweeny is known for being straightforward and honest. So I expected more (hopefully juicy) details from this book. Often, it felt like she glossed over serious events without providing any detail. Like the bad relationship that lead her to start drinking again. There was zero mention of the $10 million lawsuit brought (then dropped) by Supreme over her shirt. It seemed like she sprinkled in enough details to feel she had been honest in the book.

I think of memoirs like Andre Leon Talley or Angie Dickinson, who dropped major morsels throughout. While I appreciated her thoughts on modern feminism, sexuality, and being a woman business owner, the book left me kinda meh.

More annoying than boring

Revisado: 08-31-20

I quilt and I thought I would enjoy a story about quilts. Within 10 minutes I turned it off because it was such a boring and yet irritating story. It left me stewing not sleepy.
